Thank you Thom Hartman for your perspective on the Marissa Johnson diatribe

163. Both sides are guilty.

I've seen Bernie supporters get attacked for condemning the actions of Ms. Johnson on the basis they were condemning blm and blacks in general for disagreeing with how she behaved. No blm supporters came to their defense.

I've seen Bernie attacked with new lies every week on here by Democrats, from he's a racist, to he's a commie, to he doesn't care about or do anything for the Democratic party, to he doesn't relate to the public. I've seen virtually no blm or Hillary supporters defend him.

I've also seen Bernie supporters pig headidly defend positions they knew were wrong, launch attacks they at the very least knew were inflammitory, and act out incorrectly.


Everyone is dug in. Everyone seems to have "their side" and won't give an inch. The only difference between you and I is I can recognize and admit that both sides are guilty of it.


Most people on this forum are good people regardless of their views. I know many Bernie supporters won't go near gd:p because they consider the forum toxic and don't think they can say anything that will make things better.

I don't share those views. I believe the only way we can make things better is by confronting the issues and talking it out.

Neither "side" is ever going to win through capitulation. We eventually have to recognize our differences and work together to increase what we can accomplish. At the rate we're going I'm figuring it will probably happen shortly after the primaries are finally decided and we can get back to having a common enemy.



And Bernie has evolved his platform and it's been embraced by his supporters. Just watch a video of his rallies and listen for the cheers when he discusses racial injustice. His supporters are very supportive of your causes.
